SIGNING THE FARM AWAY.

Pine old fa,m for hundred years
Kept in the family name;
CorD-helds rich in golden ears
or as the harvest came;
Crowded barn and crowded Din
And still the loads kept coming in
Rolling in Tor a hundred years:
And the fourth in the family line appears:
Orchard covered the slopes OF the hill;
Cider-forty barrels they say,
Sure in season to come from the mill,
To be tasted round Thanksgiving day!
Ana they drank as they worked and ate,
Winter and summer, early and late,
Counting il as IA great mishap
To be found without u "barrel on tap.
But while the seasons crept along.
AMI passions into habits grew,
Their appetites became as strong
As ever drunkard knew
And they labored less and they squandcred mere
Chiefly for rum at the village store,
Till called by the sheriff, one bitter day,
To sign the homestead i,rm away.
The father shattered and scented with rum;
The mother sick and pale and thin,
Under the weight OF her SorruRs dumb,
In debt for the bed she was lying in:
Oh, / the wrecked household around hel
stand
And the justice lifted her trembling hand,
Helping her as in her bed she lay,
To sign the homestead farm away.
All, how she wept, and the food of tears
Swept down her temples bare.
And the father, already bowed with years,
Bowed lower with despair.
Drink. Drink! 1t had ripened into woe
For them and all they loved below,
And forced them, poor and old and gray,
To sign the homestead ialm away.
Oh, many scenes have met in my life,
And many a call to pray;
But the saddest or all was the drunkards wife
Signing the farm away.
Home, once richest in all the town,
Home, in that fatal cup poured down,
Worse than fire or floods dismay-
Drunkards signing the farm away!

THE EXECUTED ANARCHISTS.
A Sermon by Rev. DIR. Bolton. Who At
tended Them During Their Last Hours

Sermon by Rev. DIR. Bolton. Who At
CulCAGo, November 2l.-The Rev. DR..
Bolton, OF the First Methodist Church
vino attended the executed Anarchists
during their last hours, compares their
death with that of the impenitenu thlef
who was crucited with Jesus. Fielden
and Schwab are likened to the thief on
the cross who sought forgiveness. DR..
Bottoms comparison was the subject
chosen yesterday by him for his regular
weekly sermon. The Doctor audience
was a large one.
He said: Men are moved, led and influ-
enced very largely by the thought aud
presence of other men. This impenitent
thief on the cross had been leader in his
profession; a robber of notable, perhaps
national, reputation. Such was sure to
have made many admirers ana supper
ters, who, in the hour OF his imprison-
ment, sent him cheer, until his life was
pushed out into an abnormal channel,
and he lived on the tiattery and cheer of
his followers. Now, as he is led out,
mutitudes follow HIM and strengthen
him with their presence and words. How
can he recant in their presence, when
many of them had taken lessons IN rob
berry from hims 1t takes more of a man
to change, acknowledge his wrong aud
seek Tor pardon under such circumstances
than it does to die in sin defantly.

such returns. The majority against the
bosses pet scheme was, therefore,
between forty five and forty six thousand
votes. With this majority there were
cast the votes of at least $1,000 Demo
Gratis as the total vote against, or not
for a convention, was more than 81, 900
greater than the vote for Brooks. The
popular verdict is all the more impress
sive because, at the very same election,
it was proven that the sense of party
fealty was still very and, as we think,
much too strong. The influence OF the
controlling wing of the Democratic
party was exerted to Its utmost in favor
Of a convention, and yet, IN a vote
the largest ever cast in the State, being
4 900 more than at the last preslden-
tial election, and nearly 1900 more
than at the last gubernatorlal election
it was beaten as no candidate or pro-
position had ever before been beaten
in Maryland in quarter of a century.

If the word of a Washington cores
pondent of Baltimore daily is to be
believed, the Democrats about the Cap
itol are not half so serene as to the
presidential contest as so many of their
journals would have US believe. He
states that while there is a good deal OF
talk about the security felt by the Dem
ocrats since New York last went Dem
ocratic, yet when Ii comes down to
tables of the presidential contest the
Democrats begin to tremble. The fig
ures showing that the Republicans ca
win even without New York make the
Cleveland men shaky. The fact that
the election may be thrown into the
House for final settlement has stirred
up the Democrats, and they intend to
uy desperate game. The election OF
a Republican in Rhode Island has
given a majolity of states to the Re
publicans, and if the election was
thrown into the House, the Republican
nominee would be elected. Since the
election the leaders of the Democracy
have been figuring. The meeting OF
so many prominent Democratic sena-
tors and statesmen in New York had in
view one plan. 1t was talked over,
and it was to press the confess in the
House, and try and capture two states
where there are contests, anyhow.
These states are California and Indiana
The seats of FELTON, and Vandever, oi
California, are contested by Sullivan
and Lynch, both Democrats. To GUST
both of these Republicans would give
California to the Democrats or, if any
one was unseated, it would lie the dele
CATION and throw the state out in the
count. There seems to be very little
chance of success in either case, yet il
will be tied. Indiana is still more Sc.
cure to the Republicans. Yet Lowry
the defeated Democrat, will try to gel
White, the successful Republican, out
The district usually gives 1000 Dem
oc-atic majority. Yet, at the election,
White won by over $500. The In
dlapians were disgusted with Lowry
His open contempt for civil service re-
form beat him. Yet, he has trumpet
up charge that White was not eligible
as a candidate, and is going to try tc
get in on this plea. He rests his clam
entirely on the hope that the Demo
cratic majority in the House will unsea
White. This would lose Indiana to tbs
Republicans, for, with White, they
have a majority of the representatives
1t is a desperate game, but 1t vii
hardly succeed.

Two weeks ago Mr.. Crookshanks, OF
the Cecil Democrat, promised his
readers some startling revelations as to
Democratic Party Managementin Cecil.
He hinted vaguely at certain celestial
performances of the Juvenile Purists OF
his party, and told us to "look for par
hculays next ateek." This was a
fortnight ago, and still the particulars
do not appear. Come General since
you have excited public expectation
let us have them. Certainly you have
not been frightened out of your COM
mendable resolve to "speak out in
meetin." Don't let "silence like a
poultice come to heal the blows o1

THERE can be no reasonable justifi-
cation for defiance of constituted
authority by lawless lynching, as in the
case of the colored assallant of Mrs.
Yeakle at Frederick. The act is a
stain upon that community and a dis
grace to the State. Governor Llyod's
protest against this fragrant disregard
OF the sovereignty of the law in Mary
land, is both sersible and timely. Such
acts of lawlessness are growing alto
gethe er too frequent in this State. With
open courts, just and impartial judges,
and a healthy public sentiment sustain
ing them, there is not the slightest
shadow of excuse tor such dlsgraceful
proceedings.

WHILE it is enough for the taxpayers
of Maryland to know that the latest
scheme of the State political rcanagers
the proposed new Constitutional
Convention-has been Overwhelmingly
defeated in the State, still it is matter
of popular information to know just
how deep it was buried, and by what
actual majority of the people. We
credit our contemporary the Baltimore
american with the statement that the
number of votes for convention as re-
turned was 72,464. This number,
subtracted from the total number OF
votes cast, will give the number against
a convention. 1t is not possible to say
just how many votes there were cast.
The total vote for attorney general was
somewhat larger than that for either
the governor or the comptroller, show
ing that number of persons must have
scratched the names of the candidates
of their party for governor and comp
troller off their tickets without substitu-
ting the names of their opponents in
their places. The probabilities are that
there was some scratching on the attor-
ney generalship. At all events, the
total vote polled was at last as great
as the aggregate vote returned for
attorney general, which was 100, $50.
There was, therefore, at least Ioo,356,
less 72,464, or 1882 votes not tor,
that is against convention. The
majority against was thus really 45,42S.
OF the 1882 persons who did not
vote for the convention, and, conse
queiltly, in effect voted against 1t,
1o5,735 voted tickets marked against
a Convention" and I2,157 voted
tickets which were blanks on the con-
vention question. The judges of cleo
ton have made return of but S,ooe
blank votes. The total vote on the
state ticket conclusively shows tina,
there must have been a number O.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2l.-Henry v.
Lesley and James A. L. Wilson were ar
raigned today before Judge Mitchell, and
pleaded guilty to conspiracy to cheat aud
detraud the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal Company OF sum aggregat'ng
over $500, 600. The two men are cousins

Of secretary and treasurer of the canal
company, and the crooked" trans
actions begun by Lesley were continued
by the two men after Wilson mad been
appointed to the position. Shortly before
the exposure of their embezzlement the
Two mea disappeared from the city, aud
their whereabouts was not known until
a year later, whom Lesley returned to
Philadelphia, surrendered himself and
confessed his guilt. He said he had been
in Toronto, Can, and that Wilson was IN
business in that city. Detectives were
sent to Toronto and Wilson was taken
into custody. He refused, however, to
return to Philadelphia, and only did SO
after extradi,ion proceedings In tho
Dominion courts, which resulted IN his
being handed over to the custody of the
Penpsy ivania officers.
In his testimony today Joseph E. Gill
lingham, president OF the Canal company
SAID that Lesley occupied the position for
some 20 years. Wilson Immediately sue
ceeded him. They frequently issued
loans Of the company. They altered
checks, increased them for larger amounts
than the entries in the cash book showed,
and they altered the cash book and other
books so as to cover up their Deficiencies.
The eItificateS of loans were issued and
signed by them. The checks were raised
from 81. 50 and $i2 to 81 900, 50, 600 and
$12, 900. The total amount OF loss Was
nearly 100000.
Judge Mitchell, in sentencing Lesley,
said that, when man whose intelligence
and education and social position give
him not only necessities, but fair share
of the luxuries Of life, pursued career
Of crime for years, under the mask OF
hypocritcal respectability, he ought to
get the full penalty Of the law. But In
his case two circumstances spoke in his
favor-one was his voluntary surrender
and the other his open confession. He
(ths judge) would therefore sentence
Lesley to eight years in the Eastern Pen
ltentiary. Wilson was given six years in
the same institution, the fact that the
money was lost III speculation to retrieve

IT is test Of patience to argue with
men who have fed from the oppression
and the hard conditions of their naive
land and who spend their lives in
abusing the hospitality of the country
of their adoption. There is corruption
in our elections. Corporations do
abuse their privileges. Monopolies re-
quire checking. Plutocratic influence
has, in some instances, subvefted the
Democratic principle. Politics is too
much controlled by machines and
bosses. And yet, in spite of all draw
backs and abuses, this country and this
Government are so incomparably super
ior to all Others for the working people
that there is no second. The great tide
of immigration, maintained with cease
ess flow for fifty years, ought to be con-
elusive. Do people voluntarily seek
homes in a land where they will be
worse off than they were before ?
Where else does every man have
voice IN the Government? Where else
are the opportunities for securing an
independence so great9 Where else
are there so many landowners? Where
are wages SO high or food so plentiful
and cheap as here1 Where else are
schools, religion, the press, speech and
thought so free? The native of the
United States who does not glorify his
country and love it, IN spite of its
faults, is worse than traitor. The
adopted citizen who does not defend
it against the world is an migrate or an
idiot. Forever live the Great Repub-
lic.-NeU York World.
